Actually, this is how Apple does things for Address Book and iCal.

Not quite. They *cache* metadata in separate files, just since Spotlight cannot index "a part of a document". It's a tech trick invented just for this very reason.


Them files -- far as I know, of course -- *do not contain any metadata at all*. All the data and metadata are still in the AB or iCal database, and the only thing those cache files do is representing separate records.
